What are you streaming tonight?

I was finishing up listening to some CD’s when I saw your post.

So, fired up Tidal to check out Norah’s newest. I have her first three albums, and as much as I love her luscious voice, her albums always left me a bit unfulfilled. It seems her voice is very well represented right smack into the center image, but a bit too much forward, lacking any 3D soundstage, or a feeling of being recorded within a room. Everything seems ‘stuck in the middle’ with not much going on. Somewhat artificial, to me.

So, I thought ‘heck’, lemme see if her newest recordings is improved in that regard. But to me, nope, more of the same.

My initial reaction, and definitely not something I would purchase beyond streaming.

No Turning Back ….. Glass Tiger.

.As much as I hate to say this it almost fulfilled a purpose as very good background music.....

@bkeske Interesting observations. That wasn't the reason why I qualified my recommendation with "if you liked her first album". I do love her voice and her phrasing.

Finally getting around to sitting down and listening to some music after a busy weekend.   Took a little foray to see how civilization is holding up.  Awaiting the second wave here in the DC area.
